Margery Booth
Courtesy of a friend on Facebook (thank you Cori!) comes a fascinating article on Margery Booth, a British mezzo who sang in Berlin during WWII and carried government secrets during the height of Hitler's madness.
The photograph below is the only known image of her, which is being sold at auction.
Booth's Wikipedia page hardly has any additional information beyond her heroism which is amazing. My curious mind wants to know what she sang and who she studied with, what was her artistic life like before and after the war, and did Booth teach and have students? And how is it that she has been forgotten until now?
Please leave a comment or email me if you have additional information.
